The most productive teams are the ones who feel supported as human beings first.

I'm Claire Kirby, MSW, a coach and consultant who helps organizations create space for the human side of work. Because when employees feel supported through hard seasons, they show up more fully for their teams, their work, and themselves.

How I work with organizations:

Speaking & Lunch and Learns Engaging, accessible talks on grief, resilience, burnout, and navigating change designed to open conversation and reduce the isolation that so often accompanies hard times. Perfect for lunch and learns, team days, or company-wide wellness programming.

Group Workshops Deeper, interactive sessions for teams or employee resource groups. We explore how to support one another in the work place, how to communicate effectively during hard times, how to navigate conflict with care, and how to build a culture where people don't have to pretend they're fine.

1:1 Employee Coaching Private coaching for individual employees navigating a significant loss, life transition, burnout, or workplace challenge. Offered as a standalone benefit or as part of a broader wellness initiative.

Topics I work with organizations on:

Grief and loss in the workplace. Burnout recognition and recovery. Effective communication during difficult seasons. Conflict resolution with compassion. Building a healthy, supportive employee culture.

Let's talk about what your organization needs.

We brought Claire in to lead a three-part Lunch & Learn series for our team during Mental Health Awareness Month, and she was a genuine pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was easy to coordinate with, came prepared, and created sessions that felt warm and approachable rather than clinical. Her background as an MSW showed in how thoughtfully she handled sensitive topics, and the feedback from our team was consistently positive. I’d happily work with Claire again and recommend her to anyone looking to support their people’s wellbeing. — SR, VP of People & Culture
